In a time of great uncertainty, the Anne Barge Fall 2021 wedding dress collection offers a welcome retreat. The just-debuted series "is a haven of tranquility," reads the label's press release, and offers some "serenity during a year of unprecedented challenges." Like so many of us, Barge turned to nature—where the Atlanta-based creative spent her time in quarantine surrounded by the bountiful greenery in her home state of Georgia—for solace and inspiration while ideating each and every gown. It makes sense, then, that the final creations are symbols of "prosperity, freshness, and growth."
Nature-driven details are woven throughout this collection of dreamy gowns, composed of the finest Italian Mikado scuba, oversized floral Chantilly lace, and charmeuse fabrics. Whimsical motifs, like embroidered organza blossoms with petite beaded blooms, 3D floral vines, and fall foliage appliqués, speak to the more organic side of the collection—which does, however, have a daring facet. The more avant-garde ensembles feature plunging V-necklines and exaggerated dropped waist silhouettes, delivering on the subtle, but sexy factor the brand is known for. Like Mother Nature, both sides of the series work together, achieving a unique balance—and ensuring that there is something available for just about any bride-to-be, whatever her style.
On the whole, the Anne Barge Fall 2021 bridal collection feels like a walk through the woods or a breath of fresh air—and is perfect for any woman planning a future fall event, in particular. Natural motifs and symbolism aside, these numbers are simply beautiful and painstakingly crafted. Discover them for yourself in the slides ahead.
